I've just recieved the following email..?

• I've just been sent this e-mail from the HM Revenue, i don't have a clue what it's about though or why they've sent it to me! Here's what it says : Inland Revenue Tax Refund - You are eligible to receive a tax refund of £281.43. After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of £281.43. Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it. ATENTION: Insufficient or incorrect information may lenghten the whole process. Usually does not take more than one week from the date you have provided us with your details. In some cases (especially submitted by those without permanent National Insurance Number) this may take considerably longer. You have 48 hours to complete your tax refund claim. --------------------------------------… Then after that it gives a link, although i don't want to click it as i don't think its the Hm Revenue genuine site,

• Answer:

  Its fake. Inland Revenue doall their business by post; if you were due a tax refund, they would notify you in the post. Just think a minute; when have Inland Revenue EVER asked for e-mail addresses? The best thing to do is search for Inland Revenue on Google or Yahoo or something, and see what the website address comes up as in the search results. If it looks identical then great: lucky you: i'm fairly sure that their website is "www.hmcustoms.gov.uk", but I could be wrong! It sounds like a fake e-mail to me - a scam..
